Google and Duck Duck Go search results comparison
I couldn’t remember what Apple’s pricing was for their print on demand publishing for books. Â So, I googled.

Helpful, easy to see what I need, and answers my question. (Note: screenshots are same size.)
Just for fun, I blocked out all the non-search result content for the Google version.
Pitiful.
